Quick look at this ebay auction before it closes, someone is selling a basic ball valve cannon for 100 bucks. lol anyone who would buy this is a retard
in the upcoming presidential election, there will be several candidates who will be running, one of whom is Hillary Clinton. Now WAIT A SECOND!!! I though there was some sort of rule that prevented someone from serving more than two terms in office. Vote Against Hillary: Presidential Elections 08

I agree. It's more expensive than is reasonable.

But the guy's welcome to try for a profit. They just need to find an idiot.

Pipe. Ballvalve. Pipe. Valve.

Anyone paying $100 for it deserves it.

I could build a better gun for under $20, most people at my school think that even basic spudguns are hard to make. Lol, Idjits.

Notice that nobody actually bid on the thing. My first cannon only cost me about 12 dollars.

I'm fokin pissed. I tried to put up the most basic of all basic combustion cannons Thursday morning and they took it down because "it's a weapon". I sent a very nice lengthy and explanitory message back about the ATF and all that but no.

What pisses me off is that stuff like this it up for days before removal or sometimes it's even sold with no questions asked. Mine was removed in 20 minutes.
